Comment by Paul Robinson on July 9, 2010 at 3:47pm: You got it in one Chris, its a simple process, select the buttons and then paste the code into your site, you can even use a tracking service, but in my honest opinion I cannot fault google analytics for that.

Comment by Chris Davis on July 9, 2010 at 3:41pm: Can I just add that I too am really interested to discover the Addthis / Sharethis links that Paul and co have linked to - I'd very much like to add these to my own websites that I work on, can somebody explain to me how one goes about doing so, i.e. do those websites generate a bit of code that you just copy-and-paste into the code of your web page?

Best wishes,

Chris

Comment by Lesley Pyke on July 9, 2010 at 3:34pm: Hi Harvey
There is no problem, it is brand new as of this afternoon, thanks to Paul's link for Addthis.
I had previously googled these little things and got onto some scarey sites, one which set all the alarms off with my antivirus, I saw so many websites had them for sharing and I think it is a fantastic tool.
Thanks for checking for me :-)

Comment by Harvey Raybould on July 9, 2010 at 3:07pm: Hi Lesley

I have looked on your home page and the Addthis code seems to be working when I try. Can you please describe the problem in more detail.

Regards

Harvey

Comment by Lesley Pyke on July 9, 2010 at 2:49pm: Thank you very much!! Paul that is a fantastic site and I have now done what I wanted to do now, on my Home page and my blog!
Compila, thanks for all the info and these fantastic pages!

Comment by Compila Limited on July 9, 2010 at 2:03pm: Hi,

You can use http://www.addthis.com as Paul suggests, or another good one is http://www.sharethis.com.

You could also try http://www.flickr.com for some free images and just link them yourself.

As Paul says, linking to anything external will slow your page down a little.

Hope this helps
